The ERT fitness test

For emergency response teams (ERT) in oil and gas, a higher level of fitness is a must. They are often required to deal with acute or life-threatening situations. So it follows that the ERT OGUK medical involves additional requirements that have now been adjusted by OGUK to be deliverable during the pandemic,

How we meet the ERT fitness test requirements

We can still use the Chester Step Test for local clients to measure aerobic fitness. This is a test with a good pedigree; it was developed to put firefighters through their paces and is still used in many brigades across the UK to this day. This aerobic fitness test must be carried out annually - and that's on top of the basic OGUK medical carried out every two years. But you only pay for what you need.

Ready for future medical requirements in renewables

The renewables industry (including offshore and onshore wind-farm and tidal) uses the OGUK medical as its basic standard but, increasingly, is requiring an aerobic assessment using the Chester Step Test. We can carry this out in Covid Secure conditions for local clients.
